Reviewer scorecard
“Deploy Deno apps globally with zero config. The built-in KV store and BroadcastChannel are useful primitives.”
“The deployment experience is unmatched. Git push → preview URL → merge → production. AI Gateway is a smart addition — route between AI providers without changing code.”
“Simple and effective for Deno projects. The free tier is generous for side projects and experiments.”
“At small scale it's nearly free and incredible. At high scale, costs can surprise you. Know your usage patterns and set budget alerts. The product itself is excellent.”
“Deno Deploy proves the tight runtime + platform integration creates the best DX. Bun will follow this pattern.”
“Vercel is building the cloud for the AI era — AI Gateway, Workflow DevKit, Edge Functions. They're not just a hosting platform, they're the application platform.”
